Vanishing in the Autumn Night’s Air

…And he assured he didn’t — and wouldn’t — STOP….

BUT why would that be a problem?

His interests, his integrity, his passions, his principles and his fears were all in check…they would never leave…

He knew what he had gotten himself into, and now he knew that he didn’t want to get himself out of it…

He loved the uncertainty of not knowing whether he was the slave or the conqueror…

And yet, he wished it all went away…..

Like a candle vanishing in the autumn night’s air…
